Morning Buzz: How Much Has USC Regressed?
I spoke to a Pac-12 coach this week who watched the USC-Arizona game. “They have poor fundamentals on defense,” he said. “There is no coordination. They are poorly coached. I don’t know what their identity is. It looks really ragged most of the time. “Some of their guys look like they regressed by last year.” Which guys? “Start with the secondary,” the coach said. Here … Continue reading Morning Buzz: How Much Has USC Regressed?
Clay Helton To Georgia Southern?
I don’t care how small a program Georgia Southern might or might not be, I find it crazy that Clay Helton will apparently be unemployed for only two months. Yahoo and other media outlets are reporting Helton is finalizing a deal to become the new coach at Georgia Southern. Will this reduce what USC has to pay him?

Lewis has made 11 of 13 field goals and 18 of 19 extra points, so it seems a little harsh to me. But I’m all for accountability. So when do these coaches — including Williams — get held … Continue reading Some Are Held Accountable, Some Are Not
Morning Buzz: Does USC Need To Completely Clean House?
It has generally been assumed when USC hires a new coach, Donte Williams will be retained as an assistant coach. Williams is an excellent recruiter and the USC administration likes him, so it was no stretch to think he would remain. But a Pac-12 coach told me this weekend he doesn’t think a lot of coaching candidates would keep Williams. “A strong coach won’t want … Continue reading Morning Buzz: Does USC Need To Completely Clean House?
